An islamic female Koran teacher in London was arrested after she was accused of having sex with a 14-year-old boy, which is considered to be statutory rape. She will not see trial until August, and until then prosecutors say they want to keep the details under wraps, considering the sensitivity of this case.

Hani Hersi, 36, has also been accused of kissing with the boy, who was 13 or 14-years-old at the time. They met on several occasions, and it has been confirmed that they had a sexual relationship at least once, prosecutors have so far discovered.

Hersi pled not guilty to all counts, and requested an interpreter for her trial. The woman appeared in court with her veil covering her face.
